About
Who I am
I'm Kim Holloman, a nature photographer based in Northern Virginia. I spend most weekends somewhere between a marsh boardwalk and a mountain overlook, camera in hand, waiting for light. My love of nature, science, and photography motivates me to promote education and care for our wild spaces and wildlife. Capturing glimpses of wild animals is a magic moment when I am totally in the present, lost in awe of life in all its forms. The beauty of earth's landscapes and night skies fills me with a profound sense of appreciation for our Earth and the Universe.
Why field notes
A photo of a heron is nice to look at; a photo of a heron with a note on where it lives, how it hunts, where to find one, and what the light was doing that morning may prompt you to look a little closer and understand the scene a little deeper. I hope these notes encourage you to look, really look, at nature where ever you see it and take in the incredible beauty all around us.
